Custom Refactoring Operations and using XSLT Java extensions
by Jirka Kosek 14 Oct '24

14 Oct '24

Hi, I'm writing Custom Refactoring Operation in XSLT. XSLT code uses Java library for accessing image metadata. When I run transformation locally everything works as expected as long as I add corresponding .jar file as an extension in transformation scenario. However when I bundle this transformation as a refactoring operation inside framework I'm getting the following error message when operation is invoked "Errors were reported during stylesheet compilation". I suppose that this is caused by missig .jar file to which XSLT code makes calls. I've tried to add this .jar into classpath in "Document Type Associations" on "Classpath" but this hasn't resolved the problem. Where it is possible to register additional .jar files to be used by refactoring operation implemented in XSLT? Many thanks in advance, Jirka -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jirka Kosek e-mail: jirka(a)kosek.cz http://xmlguru.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------ Professional XML and Web consulting and training services DocBook/DITA customization, custom XSLT/XSL-FO document processing ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bringing you XML Prague conference http://xmlprague.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------

[ANN] Oxygen Content Fusion 7.1 is now available!
by Alin Belu 08 Oct '24

08 Oct '24

Hello everyone, We are proud to announce the release of *Oxygen Content Fusion 7.1*, the web-based collaboration platform for content creation! Version 7.1 of Oxygen Content Fusion builds on the *projects* concept introduced in the previous version by enhancing its functionality and offering even more capabilities. A project enables you to make changes across multiple files and once you are happy with the results, these can be committed directly to the repository to be shared with the rest of your team. This release provides various new ways to manage the project's files and folders within your personal workspace, including easy methods for renaming or moving resources. The references for renamed or moved files are updated automatically to ensure that the links and references remain valid. Now, you have simple ways to upload resources from your local computer to your workspace. Other file management improvements include the ability to discard all changes to return the personal workspace to a clean state and the new multiple editor tabs support makes project exploration more efficient. The personal workspace also received two powerful features, one for searching within the project and another for validating the entire DITA project, especially useful before committing to make sure the changes do not introduce any problems. Also, defining new publications and updating existing ones is now possible directly from the personal workspace. All changes that are the result of creating and editing publications can now be submitted in a single commit. The file comparison tool was enhanced with the possibility of comparing XML files in text mode and the diff and merge support now also works for Markdown and other text files. It is now possible to create a review task from the changes that you make in your personal workspace, making it easier to send the changes for review before integrating them into the project. Other improvements were implemented to streamline and boost the authoring experience. Now, you have the ability to highlight document content using one of the predefined color markers to flag content that needs special attention, for example during a review process. A toolbar action was added to display and edit a DITA map with all of the topic content expanded as one document. You are now able to insert links and add references to existing topics within a DITA map using drag and drop functionality. Additionally, a simple text editor is provided for making changes to non-XML files in the personal workspace. For more information about the new release, please see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/content_fusion/whats_new.html You may also try these new features on our public demo deployment: https://fusion.oxygenxml.com/projects We hope you will enjoy our latest release! As always, thank you for your support and don't forget that feedback is welcome! Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

Installing Oxygen on a new computer
by Frank Dissinger 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

Hi support, hi group, I have to migrate all my programs to a new computer with Windows 11. What is the quickest way to set up Oxygen in the same way as it was on my old computer? I know I can import/export some features such as window layouts and themes and I know where I have saved my custom frameworks to. But what about document type associations, profiling/condition settings for author mode and all the other preferences? Is there a directory tree where all this is stored and which I could just copy over the existing files?

[ANN] Oxygen AI Positron Assistant 3.0 comes with RAG integration and new AI-powered actions!
by Alin Belu 06 Sep '24

06 Sep '24

Hi everyone, We are proud to announce the release of *version 3.0* for *Oxygen AI Positron Assistant*, the powerful tool that helps increase your productivity by providing support for using AI-generated content within Oxygen tools - Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer, Oxygen XML Web Author, and Oxygen Content Fusion. Version 3.0 continues to increase the efficiency of using the plugin as certain actions now leverage the *Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)* process to obtain context from your current project, ensuring that the AI responses are not only more meaningful but also tailored for your particular projects. The new *AI Positron Assistant drop-down widget* offers a very quick and convenient way of accessing useful AI actions by displaying a floating contextual menu directly within the editing area. For example, it contains a useful new action named /Rewrite Content/ that opens a floating input box where you can provide the AI with instructions on how to process the selected content. Interface improvements include the possibility for you to customize your own AI actions to display as Quick Assist fixes in the editor. This feature presents a convenient pop-up menu on the left vertical navigation stripe with commonly used fixes, allowing for customization to align with individual preferences. Additionally, it is now possible to choose the OpenAI model used in chat sessions and actions right from the AI Positron Assistant view. This functionality provides a very quick and easy way to experiment with the different available models. A variety of new AI actions that are specific to working with DITA XML documents have been implemented, including a /Proofread/ action that helps identify potential issues in your content regarding logical consistency, grammar, spelling, readability, and comprehension. Furthermore, the new /Resolve Comments/ action enables the AI to change content based on suggestions found within comments and then also removes those comments to save time in the cleanup process. Other newly implemented actions include the /Improve Structure/ action that instructs the AI to enhance DITA XML documents by adding additional structure or inline elements, and the /Add Structured Content/ action continues the content from a document with additional structured content generated based upon similar content from the current project, which gives the AI more context for formulating the new XML structure. This release also comes with several additions for the Oxygen XML Web Author version of the plugin, including some of the above mentioned AI-powered actions (e.g. /Proofread/, /Resolve Comments/, and /Improve Structure/), alongside various other user experience enhancements. For more information, see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/ai_positron_assistant.html As always, thank you for your continued support and don't forget that feedback is highly appreciated!
